Gaia is an action / fantasy film that has our heroine fighting a major sex trafficking ringleader, the same one that once enslaved her, in order to save and reunite with her daughter, taken from her at birth when Gaia was just a teenager.
The story brings forward a dark underworld that lives right under our nose in our world today and that is often all too ignored. With the tone of works like Jessica Jones, 24 and Wonder Woman, the project embraces Greek mythology and spiritism to set a magical and supernatural climate throughout, and supports the idea that the planet, Mother Earth,
is protecting our Gaia and empowering her to fight the good fight.
